A local man known only as Red Lobster Lover Joe has enjoyed something of a cult following for his earnest obsession with the seafood chain.

The intrigue: He’s shared photos of his near-daily visits on Twitter and Flickr for the past decade, but until recently, the man behind the account was largely a mystery.

What we learned: Red Lobster executives keep tabs on Joe’s posts for food quality control and even send him Christmas cards.

Worthy of your time: The interview, published in Byrnes’ newsletter, The Rooster, is an absolute must-read.

The bottom line: May we all love something as much as Joe loves Red Lobster.
